"What about exotic stuff, like glaives?" Siber spoke up. "Of the 'blade on a stick' kind, I mean."

"Sounds fancy," Kim filled in, but she was having a hard time picturing how it could be practical. Not that she really knew how such a design would look.

"Glaives can be useful but are hard to work into a unit," Octavian said. "Unless you plan on mostly fighting alone, I'd work with the standard weapons. It's easier to fit into a strategy if you do so. Also, things like scythes are really impractical. There's a reason why warlocks are the ones that use them the most: they don't need a weapon to kill you. I'd stick with basic spears, a shield and sword combo or some kind of mace. Axes are difficult to pull off, though if you use them right, they can be better than a mace."

"I suppose experience matters initially. Though I'm in school to learn," Kim noted, "not apply wood chopping techniques to people."
She broke into a grin. "Man, I really sound like a psychopath, don't I?"

"A little bit," Siber smirked. "Though I suppose this place could use a sign saying, 'You don't have to be a psychopath to succeed here, but it helps!' or something like that, with a minimum of three exclamation marks."

Still intrigued by the innards of the engine, Leo pushed forward and peered about inside. "Any guesses?" he asked distractedly.

Kim chortled again at the thought, adjusting the used utensils on her plate out of restlessness.

Octavian finished his food, now free from distractions, and settled back. "How long do we have left?" he asked.

"Maybe a vehicle engine of some sort?" Josh asked rhetorically. "I see a rotor in there, though. I wonder what that'd be for..."

"A minute or two, I reckon," Kim said lazily, stretching her arms and back.

"Could be." Leo rose up and glared down at the device with the annoyance of perplexity. He hummed with though and chewed a lower lip before reaching down and grasping a wrench. "Here," he siad, passing it over to the other boy, "let's take the casing off. If we can get a clear picture than maybe we can see what it does."

"...How coy," Vera replied thinly. She looked to the wall, spotting the clock as it ground down the seconds. "Well!" she declared suddenly, banging her hands on the table and rising. "Looks like I should get going. Can't be late for the first day. Ha! We'll have to save our little meet-and-greet for lay-ter. Come on Eryan," Vera hissed, sweeping towards the door leading up.
Arthur moved his dishes together into single orderly pile. Bowl on plate, cup in bowl, utensil in cup. A tower of orderly waste to be picked up by whomever it was that dealt with the dishes in this place. He rose at once and untucked the napkin from his collar. "Well, shall we go?" he asked Tristan.

"Accurate enough, Fraser," came Eisenfaust's booming voice. Standing in the doorway, the Curator was every bit as resplendent in his golden armor as he had been the previous day.
"It seems that you are all finished, with some time still left. I am well-pleased, students. I hope you have recovered from the morning pain?" he asked, leaning on his monstrous hammer.
"Aye, sir," Siber replied, beginning to stand up.

"Shouldn't we, like, clean after ourselves?" Eryan asked; however, upon looking around he did not notice anywhere his tray with the dirty cutlery could be deposited.
With a shrug, the lanky ginger hurried after Vera.
"Not like we have anything better to do," Joaquin smiled, standing up. He patted Tristan on the shoulder, "Come on, things are going to get fun. And of the safe variety, too."

"What a b*tch," Vera snarled when they were out of hearing. She puffed her coat out around her like a cat trying to smooth down its fur after a fight. Licking her lips with a scowl, she cast her way up the stairs towards the second level.

Eryan decided that the wise course of action would be to keep his trap tightly shut. He did not share Vera's sentiment, and it seemed he could only hope that sometime later, during the scathingly polite exchanges, the two girls might take a genuine liking to each other. And it best be not over their mutual dislike of a certain someone else.

"Did you hear her?" Vera raised her free hand, thumb moving against the index in facsimile of a mouth. " 'Somebody. Sitting here.' Ha!" she scoffed. "Condescending little witch. Whatever," Vera growled as they ascended the final step and entered the circular room sporting the twin orbs. She suddenly rounded on Eryan. A sharp nailed finger found his chest and poked him pointedly. "Don't trust her, Er-y-an. I know her type. Promise me you won't!"

Eryan gently took her hand in his.
"I assure you, I'm not inclined to trust anyone easily," he attempted to jest.

Vera gave him a hard stare. Then, her lip lifted into a confident, slightly coy smile she habitually used. She patted the hand holding hers. "Well, there's the smartest thing you've said today, Eryan. Keep this up and you just might manage to surprise me."

"Yes, sir," Octavian affirmed, rising as well.

Josh got to work, loosening the bolts on the frame until it fell away, exposing the mechanism within. Indeed, there appeared to be some sort of axle passing through both ends, along with several pistons of sort one would see in an internal combustion engine.

"Yup," Leo said, straightening and crossing his arms meditatively over his chest. "That is definitely an engine."
